Last Friday I took a train from Shortlands to Bickley.
As i was going for a run I forgot to grab my wallet when I left the house. I got to Shortlands and realised that I had no wallet and took the train regardless.
Between Bromley south and Bickley an inspector came along and asked me for the ticket. I explained the reason why i didn't have the ticket. He made me get out of the train asked me for my details which I provide truthfully, he asked me for a proof of ID and i mentioned that i don't have it as i didn't have my wallet with me so by login in to my amazon prime account i was able to provide my ID and address. I asked him how much was the penalty he said it was 24 pounds, i asked him if I could make a bank transfer at the moment but he said that bank transfers are not allowed and that i will receive the penalty fare later on by mail.
4 days later i received a notice to prosecution asking me to appeal the charges (which i don't know what they are as the notice only says failed to handover a ticket). I called Thameslink, talk to their customer support explaining the situation and asking them what should I do, as I didn't want to appeal, as I clearly accepted the charges to the inspector on the day, and wanted to pay the fine and whatever costs that i might have caused.
So far nobody has been able to tell me what to do, customer support said that their prosecution department will contact me as i am clearly pleading guilty. But is been a couple of days and so far no contact.
I just want to pay the fine as i clearly don't want any criminal records
